NOTE: In a departure from previous practice the 2008 Pricelessware List was archived (in October 2008) when the Pricelessware selection process was complete. Versions of programs that are in active development will not change and program names will not be updated. Programs that become Shareware will not be removed. The acf Program Index links to acf program description pages that may have more current information than the PL2008 web pages.

AutoHotkey's secondary features include changing soundcard settings (like volume or mute); using a joystick or keyboard as a mouse; remapping keys; launching programs/documents; making any window transparent, always-on-top, or altering its shape; manipulating the clipboard; customizing the tray menu's icon and menu items; displaying dialog boxes to interact with the user; running existing AutoIt v2 scripts; and converting any script into an EXE file that can be run on any computer.
